NWN1 Framerate issues

[Legacy_Jedijax]

               Well, I changed the VRAM value from 4096 to the actual 1024, and the game started stuttering, like an old asthmatic chap, so the change is a no-go.

A few tidbits of info...
RDPDD is RemoteDesktopProtocolDisplay(Device/Driver). This is a component of Remote Desktop Assistant built into Win7.
Chained... because multiple GPU's are present, possibly in SLI or Crossfire.
VRAM=4096 is possible as I can attest. My two 295 GTX's net 4 GPU's, each with its own 1 gig of VRAM.

Sadly, my searching has yielded no reliable answer to the questions that arise.
Why does nwconfig (and many other games) report RDPDD as the active video device? Is it real, or a figment from an outdated config?
What drivers are in use? As I understand it RDPDD uses its own collection of MS drivers. I emphasize "MS drivers" because it has been reported that such do not support OpenGL.

It may be paranoia, but I am not at all comfortable with the situation. The only saving grace is that my system actually performs acceptably.

So if I'm understanding you, my computer is using the onboard graphics instead of my card? 

I downloaded (and thought I was using) all the most current drivers for all my parts. I don't know why it's showing RDPDD but I presume because it's being used.

               Can't be any of the above, seeing as I am using a new pc, with a clean install of NWN, and I have no on-board video. Besides, it stands to reason no on-board video device could achieve the graphical quality my card does.



I'm thinking this is another of NWN's jolly errors/bugs/inefficiencies, which seem to be multiplying as time goes by. Perhaps we are asking too much of a game that is already ten years old...

I have to disagree with you on that as I never had any major issues that seem to be related to new operating systems
and/or new harware and/or new drivers of new hardware.

Can't blame NWN for that.

No matter how powerfull in CPU, RAM and GPU your system might be, NWN will always generate between 24 to 40-50 ish FPS unless you turn off envirment shadows and tone down AA or turn AA off completly OR play at a low display resolution. Thats just the way it is, so if somtimes one gets low FPS for a moment, you shouldn't stand there thinking there is an issue specially with low end gaming Graphic Cards such as an HD 4350.

But as for you Jedijax, can't understand what is wrong with your system as with the hardware description you have given, its just plain wrong that you're having the issues you mentioned.
